Brandywine Students

Part 3 of 3; Melissa Stein wraps up the retreat with a call to action. Using #Repost as a launching point, she challenged students to share their faith with those around them as they kick off the new school year.

Part 2 of 3; Pastor Matthew continues the student ministry retreat by asking the question, what does it actually mean to be a disciple?

Part 1 of 3; Jay Parry kicks off our weekend retreat by taking a closer look at who Jesus was and is, why we can believe in Him, and how that impacts us today!

All three student missions teams (Maine, Boston, Guatemala) gave reports during the first and second worship services on June 28th, 2015. This audio is all of the individual stories from the students from both hours combined into one file.

Week 1 of 6, Pastor Matthew. In opening week, Pastor Matthew looks at 1 Corinthians 1 and 5, showing the difference in God's wisdom and the world's wisdom and how that translates to thoughts on sexuality.

Week 3 of 3, Pastor Matthew. We conclude our series looking at the Old Testament books of first and second Chronicles by looking at 2 Chronicles 28-32, the story of Ahaz and his son Hezekiah. The pattern in Chronicles regarding the Kings of Judah is that they either tried to please God, tried to please God halfheartedly, or did not try to please God, and the resulting ramifications for the nation. While Ahaz was NOT pleasing to God, Hezekiah broke the mold and in many ways was reminiscent of the best qualities of his ancestors David and Solomon in his desire to honor God.

Week 1 of 3, Pastor Matthew. We kick off our series looking at the Old Testament books of first and second Chronicles by looking at 2 Chronicles 22-23, the story of Ahaziah and Athalia. The pattern in Chronicles regarding the Kings of Judah is that they either tried to please God, tried to please God halfheartedly, or did not try to please God, and the resulting ramifications for the nation. Ahaziah and Athalia, with their connections to Ahab and Jezebel, did NOT please God.

Week 4 of 5, The Joshua Team. A special combined Student hour led by the Joshua Team, a team of student leaders! Together they teach on the topic of service.

Week 1 of 5, Pastor Matthew. Special music by Samantha, a song written and performed by her! Pastor Matthew kicks off our series on why we do what we do by looking at evangelism.

Week 6 of 6, Katy McGrath. Psalm 138. Throughout Scripture, we see examples of God’s desire to look after his children. God cares deeply for us, provides for us, and uses us to advance the kingdom. Psalm 138 offers a powerful expression of praise to God, including thanks for God-given purpose. Katy helps us think about our purpose in two ways: the overarching purpose of all Christians’ lives—to bring glory to God—and the unique purpose God has for each of us. We were challenged to think about our individual purposes in terms of the passions and gifts God has already given us, in the context of God’s provision in our lives.
